Created by Oogo and Chomsky, two of the four members of La Fine Equipe who also run the french label Nowadays Records, Hoosky combines their forces as well as their influences to broaden the scope of what can be done in beatmaking.
‘Equation’ comes from a perfect balance between Aksel, Adrien and Hausmane.
This track was naturally made and is particular in a way that it doesn’t need any artifice. Its only goal is to keep FORM’s stripped down and sincere essence.
In this track Hausmane compares social conventions to equations: we mathematically react to things in our lives depending on our values, principles, education, culture...
Oogo, Chomsky, Blanka and Mr Gib all have side projects, some are hidden in the shadow, others are well known, some are personal, others are in a duo.
But all of the four members share the same motivation and state of mind when it comes to focusing energies on La Fine Equipe.

This EP carries the essence of all these emotions through the spectrum of the singer, who lived the entire thing from France, connected 24/7 to his family and friends there, who played a huge role in the confection of this EP: records, audio from video they sent were used as samples, and long discussions gathered inspiration.
